Leave it to Entertainment Weekly writer Mandi Bierly, to remind us of a HUGE day for Supes. Five years ago today Henry officially became the Man of Steel, with director Zack Snyder calling him "the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield."

And how lucky are we, to have a guy in the role who can't be prouder of being able to portray the iconic superhero.

EW's reminder of the milestone, has turned into a lovefest for Henry on social media."sherbertdowneyjr: I still have that EW and it's framed on my wall. That was the moment I became a Superman fan. So happy we have Henry in the role."

Photographer Sarah Dunn today has been sharing some of the photos in her portfolio on social media, and posted this fabulous shot of a young Henry posing for a portrait in 2004.

You all loved the pic, but this comment fromrayray008 on Instagram got our attention:"I can see the kindness and gentleness in his eyes. Wish there were more people like him in the world!"
We couldn't agree more.

Henry's next charity event is set, and we got all the details directly from Durrell:

The Durrell Challenge 2016 will take place on Sunday 15th May and will include a 13K race from St Helier to Durrell Wildlife Park in Jersey. There will be plenty of entertainment at the Park after the event, including talks with the keepers, and the chance to learn more about conservation and the animals at Durrell.

Durrell Wildlife Park will be open to all runners, their families, Durrell members, and visitors. Unique pop-up stalls will also be on site to showcase the best Jersey has to offer. To purchase tickets please visit doitfordurrell.com.

Henry Cavill in his role as an Ambassador will be spending the day at Durrell.

Lee Durrell, Honorary Director of Durrell, believes this will be an important day for Durrell. She said, “We are fortunate in having an Ambassador who has become a household name, of course, but we’re doubly blessed because Henry is truly committed to the Durrell cause of saving species from extinction. He will inspire everyone he meets that day to back us. We are enormously proud of this on- going partnership, and all of us here are deeply appreciative of Henry’s dedication to and hard work for Durrell.”

The event aims to raise much-needed funds for Durrell so a special VIP invite is being extended to sponsors, prize-winners and high-achieving fundraisers. These guests will have access to the VIP tent where Henry will be based for most of the day. There will be food, a bar and live entertainment from some of Jersey’s top talent.

Henry Cavill said, “Regardless of what Lee says, I feel that I am the fortunate one, to be involved with so many dedicated people of such exceptional mind. I look forward to seeing you all there in May.”

And again, like Henry mentioned in his message to you at the top -- someone is driving away in his first car!

There will be raffle tickets on sale soon at Durrell Wildlife Park for the chance to win a unique prize of Henry Cavill’s first car. This was his pride and joy when he bought it in 2002 after the success of ‘The Count of Monte Cristo.’ ---> UPDATE: BUY RAFFLE TICKETS NOW.

Man of Steel was all about addressing what it would be like if Superman were to exist in our world, Batman v Superman is going to be about how a world already full of superheroes react to this mighty being making his presence felt in their world. That’s how Henry Cavill perceives what he indicates could be the first in a new series of movies, and when we meet Superman again, he’s embraced his role as a superhero.

“He’s more used to this gig, doing his best to save as many lives as he can,” explains Cavill after mentioning that the world isn’t sure what to make of someone who could just as easily be tyrant as a saviour. “He is no longer frantic. He’s no longer a wet behind the ears kind of superhero.” What he is though, is keen to take down The Batman. Clark – now living with Lois Lane – doesn’t agree with the Caped Crusader’s approach to fighting crime, but rather than heading to Gotham City to take him down, he tries to fight their battle as a journalist…at least at first.

“He doesn’t agree with his form of justice. For this farm boy, who tries to do things the right way, justice at any cost is not something he can come to terms with.” Using The Daily Planet, he hopes to “show the world what this Batman dude is doing.” Of course, we already know that they’ll eventually end up meeting, fighting, and becoming friends, but it doesn’t sound as if we should expect things to play out all that simply in Justice League. There, Cavill says his Superman is “the guy who can kick anyone’s ass” but still “the nice one”, something which points to a fun dynamic between him and his fellow heroes.

We also got Amy's interview with the magazine. And according to Comicbook.com she gives away some major details, so be warned!The latest issue of Empire Magazine confirms that she's moved in with Clark Kent when the movie begins, and it turns out that living with Superman has definitely had a positive impact on her as a journalist for The Daily Planet. "She may have some tunnel vision, but she's got a job, moral standards. [When] we met her before she would do anything to get the story - now Clark has instilled some faith in humanity in her."

"Her relationship with Clark is the closes thing she has to anything faith-based, you know?" Adams adds. "Although moving in with Clark brings issues." What those issues are remain to be seen, though Henry Cavill reiterated her comments by stating: "It's not a normal relationship. How could it be? One of them is an alien." Asked if Lois shares any scenes with Wonder Woman, Adams teased that, "I am too busy sleuthing, but she definitely brings another dynamic," before confirming that she does share scenes with Batman which required a lot of "wirework and special effects work" and is "a big moment." Seeing those two interacting should be a lot of fun, and while we've seen Lois and Lex Luthor together in the trailer, there's been no word yet on what brings her in touch with The Batman..

Officially, Empire just released the full images below with a preview. The March issue goes on sale, January 28.

Yes, we know Supes doesn't exactly look like Henry, but we're still loving all the hype. And things are sure to get more exciting as the release date gets closer. WAIT JUST A SECOND. Is that a "2" like someone commented on his forehead?!... or is it an "R" like @Warrior_Diana says?

Superman actor Henry Cavill, who was joined by his Royal Marine brother Lt/Col Nik, handed out the Best Reservist gong to Major Henry Dowlen for his work helping Ebola victims in Sierra Leone, despite fears he contracted the disease himself.

It means a lot to have been able to present this award. Any opportunity I have to show respect to members of the Armed Forces who have done wonderful things is an opportunity I would jump at – especially an opportunity to to give an award to a member of the Royal Marines Reserves, as my brother is a Royal Marine.

The stories I have heard today have been fantastic and inspiring tales, I feel proud of all of them.

Major Dowlen added:It was humbling to have been recognised in this way. It was also a pleasure to receive my award from Henry Cavill. His brother and I used to work together so it was nice to finally meet him.

UPDATE 1/21:

The magazine has shared with us some excerpts from Zack Snyder's exclusive interview with them:

From dealing with intense fan scrutiny to the challenges of expanding the big-screen DC Extended Universe, BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE director Zack Snyder pulls the curtain back on his thought process and how it all connects to the upcoming JUSTICE LEAGUE movie in our Official FM Interview.

• CREATING A BELIEVABLE TITLE-CHARACTER MATCH-UP: “The discovery of the story is that Batman fights Superman. Now move your superhero chess pieces so that can happen. And it can happen in a credible and interesting way. … It’s just incredibly satisfying and fun to dig into these two mythological characters and find a through line that allows them to come into conflict in a way that not only is philosophically satisfying, but also physically real.”

• REGARDING BEN AFFLECK’S OLDER, WISER BATMAN: “He’s not yet tired of his place in the world. He’s definitely still tooth-and-nailing it.”

• REACTING TO CRITICISM OF EXCESSIVE DESTRUCTION IN MAN OF STEEL: “I stand by it, because for me, I’ve always said when I was working on WATCHMEN — and maybe it’s sort of left over from a WATCHMEN philosophical sort of thing — that there should be consequences to superheroes’ interaction with the earth. And that was kind of the way that we approached MAN OF STEEL. I wanted a big consequence to Superman’s arrival on earth. Certainly, BATMAN v SUPERMAN sort of cashes in all its chips on the ‘why’ of that destruction.”

The Batman v Superman issue of 'Famous Monsters of Filmland' hits newsstands February 2, and you can now order it at CaptainCo.com.
